‘It’s not about breaking through the glass ceiling; it’s about building your own home’

(Irene Brankin)

 

Here I am using the word ‘home’ in the context of learning about yourself – returning to yourself and when you are comfortable in your own shoes, then you will be ready to fulfil your potential in a world where there is no glass ceiling because you’ve not put any there!

 

Age

I can hear some of you saying that this idea of mine is not here yet, and there are still blockages to fulfilment.   Yes , I do know that and yet, in my opinion, I want to say that more and more of you are doing just that in your own way.   Just look around you, there are women you may actually know personally, professionally or through the media who have not allowed a glass ceiling to deter them.  They haven’t allowed themselves to give up on their dreams whatever age they are!

I see women of all ages starting up their own businesses; running all different kinds of marathons; writing books; giving their experience and support to enable others’ abilities to come into fruition; climbing mountains; going back to College; writing blogs and being the best they can be in all walks of life.  This is only a sample and you can add more and even your own name to the list.

 

Commonality

What did these women (and you) have in common – they listened to their inner longing and decided they could no longer dim their passion or lust for life.   They heard their call to allow themselves that possibility of fulfilling their life’s dream – regardless of whether they would succeed or fail by others’ standards.  They were willing to go ahead and take the steps towards it.

 

Lure of Potential

Now I am saying to you that it is your time to encourage and explore your unique potential for yourself and, through its expression, you are giving something back to the world.   The lure of your potential has become too strong to deny it anymore.

Can you relate to this?

To truly feel like a human being, no matter what your age, is to feel appreciated, to feel your existence matters and the embodiment of your soul allowed.

This always touches me deeply and, for me, this is what life is all about.

 

Confidence

So there you go, if you thought that age would stop you from being who you want to be – think again!!

When you do ‘jump or take steps towards’, you will get an adrenaline rush (a ‘high’) and you’ll have more confidence.  Why?   Because you’ve listened to your passion.   You’ll have a deeper, more still confidence because you’ve done it for yourself – not for others – and yet the rest of us will benefit.

 

Whatever it is, just do it!

 

You’ve got so little time on earth that the biggest risk is to spend it dissatisfied!!   So remember you can make any day whatever you want it to be because it’s a brand new day – so you can think, feel and experience whatever you want.

Build your own home by letting go of old habits, and do something new by devoting yourself to what makes your heart sing.   Whatever it is, just do it!!

Go well.
